During the City Nature challenge BioBlitz, I visited Centennial Woods and Winooski to gather information for iNaturalist. My experience using iNaturalist was very easy and fun, I liked to see the suggested species that were found based off of my pictures and it was fun when I already knew what the species was and I was able to type it in myself. I found 14 different species in a very small area, mostly small vegetation that had just sprouted. But I found myself paying more attention to my surroundings and trying to spot new plants, which I usually would not be doing so this was a fun and new experience for me. This made me be able to see so many more little plants than I usually would have noticed. It was very interesting to look at the main city nature challenge group on iNaturalist to see all of the various species being documented around the world, I really liked the Saguaro cacti pictures. I also enjoyed seeing so many new species that I had never heard of and the cool encounters people had with them like the green anole or the Egyptian goose.
